Circus Investor

The "grew" mistake is intentional. I made a mistake and didn't care to fix it since it kinda stuck. Kind of like my grammar mistake in "Circus Freak" when I said "what you did from me" instead of "what you did to me" again, it stuck. And I kinda liked it. So meh.

If you can’t have it, then no one will

I’m sorry that you hate what I’ve built

You came knocking, after the scenes

Asked to take this down, to build your dream

I said no, that this is all I have

This is my new home, I built with tears

You won't understand, living with me for years

Don't you know, I'll fight with all I have

I’ll reach for anything I can grab

~

You grabbed that gasoline and you tried to burn it down

But you didn't know I already burnt all my old clowns

(Circus Investor do you not know about the Jester?)

The gasoline can has long been empty and cold

And the memories are really starting to get old

(Circus Investor, did I not tell you about the Jester?)

But you never knew, never took the time to grew

I’m not interested, Circus Investor

Circus Investor, I’ll cut you off like the Jester

~

You raised me heartless, you raised me wide

As a child, there's nothing this world could hide

“You could be taken, murdered in cold blood”

But you never taught me, how to properly love

 I built this circus, it's the only place I belong

You raised a twisted monster (just like you) and you knew it all along

I should thank you, I’m grateful for being so aware

But beyond that, Mom, I don't really care

And the memories are really starting to get old

But you never knew, never took the time to grew

You threw the can away and grabbed me away

The trapeze dancers, the clowns, they stopped screaming my name

I’m gonna built and leave off where you left behind

All the dreams you lost, I promise I will find!

You might have abandoned hope, but you cant truly love

And that’s why neither can I, but I'm still young, and my dream is just above

If you can't have it, then neither can I?

I'm sorry that I don't want my dream to die

You might have stopped, you might have turned mean

But I think its because you no longer! Have! A! Dream!

I'm not you . . .

Circus Investor, I'll turn down your offer

(Circus Investor, I’ll cut you off like the Jester)

Circus Investor, I wont let you fester

(Circus Investor, I’ll cut you off like the Jester)

Circus Investor, wont let you pester
